Have done another sand/stain stage on the body, and am very happy with the current shade, but I'll need to sand before I begin the gloss top coat, so the shade might not be what I want. Pics on the weekend ...

sounds good Glenn, you are getting a good dose of sanding ! Sure it will pay off mate
Look forward to pics
Did some sanding and gloss coating today. Yes, it's Estapol. This is two coats in. Pretty happy with how it's going.
Looks nice man.
Looking fantastic Glenn! The black grain is looking relly nice under the blue The colour is really starting to come alive under the clear. Great job!
cheers,
Gav.
Neck set up day! The usual routine - adjust truss rodd and check with steel rule to make sure it's flat, then level frets with radiused sanding block and 2000 grit wet and dry; re-crown, polish with steel wool, and we're done!
looking good Glenn
what colour are you going staining the headstock ?
The natural figure coupled with those colour choices equal one smoking hot axe, looks brilliant!
I'm going to leave the neck natural, including the headstock. There's enough going on with the body that anything else on the neck will start to look too messy.
I'll probably try to tie the headstock decal into the body by colour-matching the font, though. That'll be enough.
